Can anyone recommend a good course in Residential Property Development , I have looked around the web and come across a few any information on this would be very much appreciated. Ideally something under 6 months. Also just purchased the Australian Residential Property Development book so I am looking forward to it coming through the mailbox.
Breece – really enjoyed looking through your web-site.
I briefly spoke to the council over the phone yesterday re the reformed zoning, he said that it was due to be implemented late this year but it has been moved to early next year.He said it is all pretty vague at the minute but that council will have the final say.
Christian b you say $1500 p/m2 is that a price that a builder will do it for, if i was to project manage it I guess you could expect to save 10-20% on that. If it would be $1500 with a builder for the house what would that cost be including all ground works-civils etc. Basically i am looking at what it will cost for the whole completion of site works and all.
At this stage I am only trying to do a feasibility report, I would be looking at a high standard finish, so as to carpet or ironbark flooring I am not getting into that much detail just yet. @240s/m for each townhouse inc garage. And yes they will be built at the same time. DA/CC ?? That is … although I work in construction its commercial…Can you shed some light on the Victoria reformed zones when do they come into place, currently the property I am looking at is on RZ1
As I mentioned above I am involved in commercial side of construction, my background was in drafting after getting a degree in Construction. So I would be hoping to do the planning part myself every cent saved and all that, and most townhouses are 95% the same so I would be confident to do the drafting. You say a private town planner, would this be a better option considering it is would be my first time doing planning drawings for such a development…I do have a few architect friends who would lead me in the right direction if I had any issues…I have applied to do a Project management course with the master builders of Victoria and I am looking into a few other courses they run….I would Project manage the development.
I have researched all the subdivision costs surveying costs etc Its mainly the build cost that is providing hard to finalise.
It looks from looking around Anything from $1500-$2000 p s/m. Again I don’t know if this figure includes all site works like sewage, landscaping etc or would that figure only be for the house. I will try to speak to a builder and get some feedback.
As you can tell a lot of this is new to me so all the info is much appreciated, I am in a position to buy if I wanted now, but I think I need to research research research over the coming months and be confident with the ends and outs of every aspect. I really have a passion for a project like this, it’s something that really appeals to me… but there is no point in me being over eager and committing to a project without knowing everything there is to know.
Ideally working for a similar established developer would be great for a few years. Can anyone recommend courses that can answer all my questions or where could I get all the info I need to know…
Thanks in advance
